Winner of the 2012 Mid-Atlantic Emmy for Best Discussion Special!

"Justice Breyer: On Democracy Part I"

airs: Sunday November 11 at 9:30 am and 7 pm

In Part I of this Emmy Award winning two-program Due Process special, Hosts Raymond Brown and Sandra King have the rare opportunity for an extended, candid conversation with one of the most engaging members of the United States Supreme Court - Justice Stephen Breyer.

Taped on location at Rutgers Law School, before an audience of students, academics, jurists and lawyers, the two programs cover a wide range of court cases and conflicts - from Dred Scott and the Cherokee Nation decisions in the 19th Century, to Korematsu and Brown in the 20th, and Bush v. Gore and the Guantanamo cases in the 21st.

Justice Breyer's book, "Making Our Democracy Work," cites those cases and more in his argument that a strong democracy is dependent, not just on the division of powers, but on a Court that commands the respect of the American citizenry.

Although the interview is conducted by Sandy and Raymond, the programs also feature enthusiastic participation from the audience, with questions from such notables as former NJ Supreme Court Chief Justice Deborah Poritz, NJ Institute for Social Justice President Cornell Brooks and Rutgers Law Prof. Paul Tractenberg.

Due Process - winner of 21 New York and Mid-Atlantic Emmys - airs on NJTV, successor to New Jersey Network, on the stations and cable positions once occupied by NJN.

Due Process is a production of Rutgers School of Law - Newark and the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy with studio facilities provided by the Rutgers iTV Studio, Division of Continuing Studies.

Major funding for Due Process is provided by The Fund for New Jersey and Rutgers, The State University.
